All youth between the ages 8-18 can request a youth sponsor before, during or after their move to the Fort Bragg area.
A youth sponsor can provide you with information about schools, shopping, culture or maybe become your new friend! Youth sponsorship is coordinated by the Youth Education Support Services and will match sponsors to new youths according gender, age/grade, interests/hobbies, and school attending.
Youth buddies are also avaialble within our Child and Youth Services Child Development Centers and Family Child Care homes for youth ages 3-7. These youth are partnered with new youth coming into the program as their buddy. Once the child is enrolled , he or she will be matched up with a trained buddy to help him/her transition into the program.
Why request a youth sponsor/buddy?
Moving to a completely new location is sometimes scary, exciting, but always new and different.
It always helps when you have someone that can show you around and tell you about your school or program, the community, places to see and shop, and introduce you to new friends.
The Youth Sponsorship/Buddy Program can help your transition to a new place easier no matter if it is a school, day care or Family Child Care home.
Why become a youth sponsor/buddy?
Everyone is encouraged to become a youth sponsor/buddy! If you like to help and meet new friends, then being a Sponsor/Buddy is the right thing to do.
As a youth sponsor/buddy, you get to identify, meet and help incoming teens and youth. You provide them with friendship, a warm welcome, information, and possibly a tour of the community/program.
This is a great leadership role, and the time spent volunteering as a youth sponsor /buddy will be add to your time as a youth volunteer on post or at school!
